Are 8 play regional reasonable?

How often did they get breaches compared to others, versus capturing the tower? From what i've seen, the dominant strategy during quals is to breach while scoring a few balls, with very few matches resulting in a capture. That extra RP for a breach really helps with the rankings!

That’s true, but going for high goals gave us a higher points per match average with leaving easy points for our alliance partners on the table. If we went for the breach every match we would have probably lost 4 matches so the extra ranking points probably would have been a net gain of zero.
